Who is eligible? Any Affiliated Society in good standing with the Register and up to date with their annual dues. All Affiliated Society members involved in the project must also be in good standing with the Register and up to date with their annual dues.
What is supported? Any public education and outreach effort. Grant monies can be used for materials (e.g., software, printing costs), stipends for guest lecturers, wages for intern assistance (e.g., developing printed materials, updating education sections of society websites), and other direct costs. Individual project needs are unique and all requests will be considered.
How do I apply? Submit the attached cover sheet as well as a proposal of no more than two pages that addresses: (a) The public education and outreach effort; (b) How the endeavor connects to the Register’s Code of Conduct; (c) A proposed timeline for the project.

When will I be notified? Notification will be sent to all who submitted a proposal by March 30, 2021.
Are there other expectations of which I should be aware? The Register will announce the grant winners via social media. Awardees will be expected to share their project via social media as well. All activity promotions, materials, and updates must acknowledge the Register’s support for the endeavor. A high-resolution Register logo will be provided to all recipients for this purpose. A brief summary report of funded projects is due within 60 days of the project’s conclusion.
